Morning links: Falk starts Saturday, live chat today

I'll be hosting our last Wednesday WSU chat session of the preseason at 11 a.m. today. Until then, links!

First up, we have a notebook in the paper that notes Luke Falk is officially WSU's starting quarterback, along with other newsy morsels.  We have more WSU coverage in yesterday's practice notes, as well as post-practice video of Mike Leach and Alex Grinch. Don't miss these WSU practice stories from Darnay Tripp of KREM2 and John Collett of SWX.

ESPN has a story about Mike Leach's influence on Big 12 offenses. Stef Loh touches on that and more in her links. … Howie Stalwick wrote about WSU's new attitude.

Elsewhere in the Pac-12…

-- Oregon State's offensive coordinator overdoses daily on diet cola.

-- The Arizona Republic lists some of the Pac-12's best matchups this season.

-- Christian Caple profiled Jake Browning who might (will) start for Washington as a freshman quarterback. Caple doesn't foresee a bowl game for the Huskies in 2015.

-- Oregon isn't taking FBS-killer Eastern Washington lightly.

-- UCLA has suspended cornerback Ishmael Adams after he allegedly stole an Uber driver's phone.

-- Prices are soaring for Utah's game against Michigan.
